Re: The "I Hate GFCIs" threadI recently put GFCI outlets on a bathroom and kitchen outlet since discovering that 3 wire outlets in my house do not mean there is actually a ground connection. I feel a little silly now about using 2 to 3 wire plug adapters and actually bothering to connect the faceplate ground screw to nothing... :-(I bought the cheapest made in China GFCIs I could find so it will be a horse race to see if I outlast them (I bought a package of three so have one back-up in reserve).I am an advocate of GFCI for live sound use, but appreciate that they can easily become yet another point of failure. Perhaps we can put them into pluggable modules so they can be easily swapped in the field should they become the problem instead of preventing the problem.JR
